US Congress Passes Russia Sanctions Bill

In September 2026, the US House of Representatives passed a bill to impose new sanctions on Russia. The bill, named for Senator Lindsey Graham, also includes tariffs of up to 100% on countries such as India that continue to buy Russian oil. It now goes to President Trump for his signature.

The House vote took place over objections from some Democrats about the new authority it would give Trump. The Senate had already passed the measure.
